Mia is assaulted at the Christmas parade and she is convinced someone is trying to kidnap her adopted daughter.  Her deceased husbands best friend, Hayden, has been helping her since her husband was murdered in a robbery gone wrong.  Mia, her husband, and Hayden were police officers.  Mia and Hayden came upon the robbery where her husband was killed. They both are having difficulties forgetting that.  As the story progresses, are more attempts to kill Mia and kidnap her daughter.  Hayden will do anything to protect them both.  This was a great mystery that I didn't figure out till the end of the book.
